Pigsy chuckled and said, "I, Old Pig, want to try it right now." He then reached out to take it.

Sun Wukong snorted and slapped his hand aside, giving one to Sha Wujing first, and then to Zhu Bajie.

Pigsy got the ginseng fruit and swallowed it in one gulp without tasting it.

Then they just watched Sun Wukong and Sha Wujing eat.

Sun Wukong and Sha Wujing knew what this fool was up to, so they immediately turned their heads away and refused to look at him.

"Brother Monkey, Brother Sandy, I, Old Pig, ate too fast! What does this ginseng fruit taste like?"

Chapter 992 Powerful Actors

Sun Wukong and Sha Wujing turned around once again.

After eating the ginseng fruit, Sun Wukong felt as if a tremendous burden had been lifted from his body, and a surge of pure energy rushed straight to his head.

All the meridians in my body were nourished, as if I were soaking in a hot spring, and I received an ultimate enjoyment.

Sha Wujing also felt that the hidden wounds caused by being pierced by ten thousand swords were slowly being healed, and he thought that it would not be a problem to recover to the third realm of the law soon.

Watching Sun Wukong and Sha Wujing finish the last of the ginseng fruit, Zhu Bajie could only swallow his saliva.

But he was still a little unwilling, and chuckled, "Brother Monkey, why don't you make another trip? I, Old Pig, haven't even been able to taste what it's like."

Sun Wukong ignored him and threw the golden cudgel back into place.

Unexpectedly, Qingfeng and Mingyue were guarding the door. When they saw the golden cudgel flying towards them, Mingyue caught it, and then Qingfeng shouted, "Who stole the golden cudgel?"

This tactic is called "taking the initiative".

Pigsy looked at Monkey King and said, "Brother Monkey, this is bad, we've been discovered."

"Ah, this!" Sha Wujing didn't expect things to happen so quickly; it was too much of a coincidence.

Qingfeng's loud shout startled Tang Sanzang.

Tang Sanzang pushed open the door and came out, only to see Qingfeng blocking the courtyard gate, glaring angrily at the four of them.

Mingyue took the golden cudgel and went to the backyard to count the ginseng fruits.

When Tang Sanzang saw Qingfeng, he stepped forward and apologized, saying, "Amitabha, I was very rude before, please forgive me, fairy boy."

Qingfeng said sarcastically, "Heh~! You monk, you'll have something to say about this later."

When Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing arrived, they saw Qingfeng with an angry expression.

This anger was obviously feigned; he was a true actor, and it felt completely natural.

But they didn't know that; they just felt guilty.

Pigsy transmitted his voice, "Brother Monkey, what do we do now? We've been discovered."

Sha Wujing also said, "There's still one boy missing; he must have gone to count the fruit."

"Of course! It only bears thirty fruits every ten thousand years. Anyone who's not stupid can tell how many are missing." Pigsy even had the mood to complain.

Sun Wukong squinted at him.

Before long, Mingyue came rushing in, and upon seeing Tang Sanzang, she immediately cursed, "Hey, you thieving bald man! What kind of holy monk are you pretending to be in your cassock? You're just a thieving monk, a thief with a heart full of thievery. I gave you fruit, but you didn't eat it; you insisted on stealing it."

Tang Sanzang asked in confusion, "Amitabha, two celestial children, is there some misunderstanding? That ginseng fruit looks like a child, and this humble monk absolutely cannot eat it."

"Pah!" Qingfeng continued to curse, "You filthy bald thief, stealing food is one thing, but you dare to deny it? I think you shouldn't go on the journey to the West. You already have your own 'Stealing Chickens and Dogs Manual,' why do you need to go to the Western Paradise?"

"Enough!" Sun Wukong couldn't take it anymore. When had he ever been insulted like this? Although the insult was directed at Tang Sanzang, it was clearly also directed at him. "The fruit was eaten by me, Old Sun, and my two junior brothers. It has nothing to do with my master."

"Pah!" Mingyue said, "I counted before I came, and there were four fruits missing. There are exactly four of you here. You dare to say that this bald thief didn't eat any?"

Upon hearing this, Pigsy blurted out, "Brother Monkey, I didn't expect you to have stolen one."

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong felt a surge of anger, "I, Old Sun, did not!"

Before Pigsy could say anything, Qingfeng continued his attack, "Heh heh, a scoundrel with a thunderous mouth, a pig-headed idiot, and a blue-faced Rakshasa murderer! You lot, going to go on a pilgrimage to the West? I bet you'll just be robbing and pillaging along the way. Baldy in the lead, beastly followers, truly a case of the upper beam being crooked and the lower beam being crooked too."

Tang Sanzang was scolded until his face turned red, and he stammered, "Amitabha, it was my fault for not disciplining him properly. I don't know how much this ginseng fruit is worth, we will definitely compensate you."

"Compensation? You dare to claim it?" Mingyue continued, "I heard you're the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi, but I think you're just a glutton! A starving ghost reincarnated! Why weren't you chanting Buddhist prayers when you stole my immortal fruit? What are you pretending for now? I bet even Buddha would be so ashamed of you that he'd crawl into a hole in the ground, and all the Buddhas would be turning their backs to the east."

Tang Sanzang clenched his fists. Even Buddha gets angry. These two have gone too far with their insults.

In the group chat, Huang Rong couldn't help but comment: "These two sisters are too fierce."

You Ruo: I've decided that the best insult in this group will be decided between Si Niang and Lian Ni Chang.

Wu Xingyun: Shut up, don't bother them.

Pigsy couldn't stand it anymore. "Two celestial attendants, your insults are a bit too much."

"Excessive?" Qingfeng sneered, "There's something even more excessive. I wish I could shred your damn robes into rags and melt your staffs down to make chamber pots. What's the point of going on a pilgrimage? Carrying manure is the most suitable thing for you."

At this moment, Sun Wukong remained motionless, his primordial spirit having left his body, but he could still hear Qingfeng and Mingyue's scolding in his ears.

"Go ahead and curse me, I, Old Sun, will let you curse me!"

“That monkey deserved to be imprisoned under the Five Finger Mountain back then. You will surely be punished for stealing fruit today. When my master Zhen Yuanzi returns, he will string you thieving bald men together and send you to the Western Paradise, burying you under the ginseng fruit tree as fertilizer.”

"Hey!" Sun Wukong roared, his golden cudgel grew longer, and he stabbed it into the roots of the ginseng fruit tree.

The ginseng fruit cooperated readily, loosening its grip on the soil to allow the golden cudgel to penetrate deeply.

Sun Wukong used all his strength, and with a pry of his golden cudgel, a rumbling sound rang out as the ginseng fruit tree was uprooted and its roots broke off.

In the unseen void, wisps of merit are merging into the earth where the ginseng fruit tree stands.

Upon hearing the sound, Qingfeng and Mingyue stared in disbelief and exclaimed in unison, "Oh no!"

Then they rushed quickly to the backyard of Wuzhuang Temple.

Sha Wujing was also dumbfounded. After a moment of stunned silence, he said, "The ginseng fruit tree has fallen?"

Pigsy turned around and saw that Monkey King was still in that stiff expression, so he nudged him, calling out, "Brother Monkey! Brother Monkey!"

Just then, Sun Wukong came to his senses and exclaimed, "Fool, why did you push me, old Sun?"

"Did you leave your body to push the ginseng fruit tree?" Pigsy hoped that Monkey would deny it, and Sandy did the same.

Sun Wukong angrily said, "They insulted me like this, so I just pushed them away. What's wrong with that?"

"Oh dear!" Sha Wujing was also anxious this time. "Eldest brother, eldest brother, it wouldn't be a big deal if we just stole some ginseng fruit, but why did you knock down the ginseng fruit tree? That was Zhenyuan Daxian's treasure. Even Buddha Tathagata had to pay homage to Zhenyuan Daxian as a disciple. You..."

"Is Zhenyuan Daxian very powerful?" Sun Wukong asked Sha Wujing.

Tang Sanzang and Zhu Bajie both looked at him.

Sha Wujing said, "Zhenyuan Daxian is also a Dao Master."

Sun Wukong was dumbfounded, then looked at Sha Wujing and said, "Junior Brother Sha, why didn't you say so earlier?"

"How was I supposed to know you'd push the ginseng fruit, Senior Brother?" Sha Wujing said helplessly. "You're too impulsive, Senior Brother."

“That’s right, that’s right.” This time it was Pigsy’s turn to agree. “Now the monkey won’t just be suppressed for five hundred years, we won’t be able to escape either, we’ve been killed because of you.”

Chapter 993 Lin Zhu Makes Her Appearance

Sun Wukong glared at Zhu Bajie, his anger rising. He grabbed Zhu Bajie's pig ears and said, "Who was it that said they wanted to eat ginseng fruit?"

Pigsy quickly bowed, "But I, Old Pig, didn't ask you, Brother Monkey, to push down that ginseng fruit tree! What should we do if Zhenyuan Daxian returns?"

Tang Sanzang and Sha Wujing were indecisive and could only turn their attention to Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong said, "I'll take responsibility for my actions. I, Old Sun, was the one who pushed the ginseng fruit tree. Let's go to the Western Paradise to get the scriptures first. If Zhen Yuanzi returns, he can just capture me, Old Sun."

Pigsy said, "That's a good idea. Of the thirty-six stratagems, running away is the best."

Sun Wukong was speechless at the sight of this pig.

Tang Sanzang felt this was a last resort and said, "This is the only way. However, all the mistakes are my fault. If Zhen Yuanzi comes, then I will go. Since eating my flesh can grant immortality, I suppose it can make amends to Zhen Yuanzi."

Upon hearing him say this, Sun Wukong immediately acknowledged this master.

Zhen Yuanzi was far more powerful than Buddha, yet Tang Sanzang was willing to take the blame, even though he hadn't eaten the ginseng fruit yet.

After agreeing on the plan, they promptly packed their bags and left Wuzhuang Temple overnight.

In the backyard of Wuzhuang Temple, Qingfeng and Mingyue gasped as they looked at the fallen ginseng fruit tree.

Qingfeng (Feng Si Niang) asked, "Senior Ginseng Fruit Tree, are you alright?"

"It's alright, I'm perfectly fine." The ginseng fruit tree chuckled and said, "That little monkey's strength is no match for an old man like me. If I can lie here for a year or two, I might be able to transform into human form."

"Hahaha!" Lin Zhu appeared with a laugh, "If you want to lie down for a year or two, the Buddhist sect will be furious."

"Indeed." The ginseng fruit tree also knew the importance of moderation, and said, "Little one, then you should wait until the sun rises before chasing after it. Let this old man enjoy it first; the merit of mending the heavens is so pure. The taste is just right!"

Outside the Wuzhuang Temple, Tang Sanzang spurred his horse and whipped it, trying to flatter Ao Lie for the first time, but the Buddha's Palm technique was a bit too harsh.

Ao Lie couldn't take it anymore. 'I'm from the East Sea, not Yizhou, and I'm definitely not a round-faced, bearded man. Stop filming me, you bald thief!'

Unfortunately, his ability to speak is now restricted.

Whether it's Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, or Sha Wujing, they are all quite fast.

But the fastest speed the white dragon horse ridden by Tang Sanzang could go was only this, covering a little over 200,000 li in one night.

As the sun rises, the bamboo groves in Wuzhuang Temple still have the leisure to breathe in the purple aura.

Then it transformed into a golden light and appeared on the path that the pilgrimage team had to take.

Sun Wukong spotted him at the front. With his fiery eyes, he saw that this man was just an ordinary person, yet he was anything but ordinary.

Could it be Zhen Yuanzi?

He was horrified. How could they have caught up so quickly? Weren't they supposed to have gone to Chaos?

The group immediately stopped in their tracks.

Pigsy's legs went weak, and he looked at Tang Sanzang and said, "Master, this is bad, the debt collectors are here."

"You pig-headed fool, you do have some sense." Lin Zhu put on an air of importance, striking a pose with great flair, and looked at Sun Wukong with a light laugh: "So you're the monkey Sun Wukong who knocked down that old Taoist's ginseng fruit tree?"

“It is indeed me, Old Sun.” Sun Wukong was a lawless man, and although the person in front of him seemed to be the Dao Lord, he wanted to test his strength.

Lin Zhu said calmly, "In that case, let's go to the old Taoist's cave and wait for the Buddha to come and redeem us."
